ATI Radeon 5970 is the foot-long GPU champ: HotHardware
We sit down with our buddies from HotHardware, like we do every week, to talk graphic cards this time around. First on the list? ATI/'s gigantic Radeon 5970, which other than topping performance charts, also tips the price scales more than most cards. On the cheap end of the spectrum, we break down a new card from Zotac which is a low-power unit capable of fitting in well to a home theater without breaking the bank. Also, Adobe has added hardware acceleration support in its latest build of Flash, which is perfect for lower-end computers to play back hi-def Flash content. And, MSI has come out with a desktop that fits that mold really well, which has a touchscreen, Nvidia ION processor, and comes in at about $750. Check the show for the full details.

AT&T vs Verizon: What do the experts think?
Iyaz talked a little earlier about the drama surrounding AT&T and Verizon, but when it comes right down to it, what do the guys who know what they/'re talking about think of the two companies?

Awards season, mini phones and Pirate Bay drama
This week, our ol' chaps from over the pond (that is what they're called, right?) check in to speak of the unspeakable drama going on at The Pirate Bay.

Xbox 360 adds Twitter, Facebook integration
Yup, today/'s the day Microsoft officially/n added the social networking juggernauts to its Xbox 360 Dashboard, /nand in lieu of explaining the whole thing in text, we took a look at the/n integration early this morning.

Check out the video for the whole look.
